No wonder Xie Xiaohao's parents went crazy.
The pixels of the photos are very high, and the photos are extremely clear. In the huge living room, a distorted human figure is frightening.
No need to ask, this person is Xie Xiaohao. His limbs and neck were all stretched to about four or five meters, and they were all knotted together with the furniture in the room!
His left and right hands, both of which appeared to be at least four meters long, were twisted, and the left hand and an ornamental plant on the left were coiled and connected in a knot. And the right hand and a lamp protruding from the right wall are entangled together, winding about three times. The two legs are hanging on the ground, and they are also stretched to four or five meters long. The scariest thing is the head, the neck is stretched by about two meters, and it is entwined with the electric fan on the ceiling, but the neck part is entangled five times (so the pixels are high, and it can be clearly photographed after a few turns). And the head is also twisted, it looks like a twist, and you can't even tell what it looks like.
The next few photos are photos of the corpse taken from other angles. These photos can no longer be described as shocking. No wonder the police did not release photos of the dead body and the specific cause of death. No wonder the neighbor said that a large truck came to transport the dead body that day... This is definitely not made by humans! The human body is not flour, so how can it be stretched at will without breaking the limbs and neck? Moreover, there was not a drop of blood at the scene, not even a trace of a struggle, and the neighbors of Xie Xiaohao's family said that they did not hear any screams at night. It is possible for normal people not to scream when their limbs are stretched. A little scream
Run An also took out the forensic report in the envelope and read it. He was surprised to find that the bones and muscle tissue of the deceased had also elongated correspondingly! All the organs and tissues on the body of the corpse showed no abnormalities, and everything in the body changed correspondingly as the limbs were stretched. It seemed that Xie Xiaohao was born with this kind of body, and even the length of his clothes changed...
Then... my guess can be confirmed...
Run An quickly put the photo back into the envelope, and then said to Ren Jing: "It's better to burn it, if this photo gets out, the consequences will be disastrous."
His throat felt dry, no, unusually dry.
In the end... What kind of thing is he facing? Just like the three claw marks that killed my parents back then, they are all existences that do not belong to this world...
Ou Xueyan, who was sitting in the back seat, was shaking like chaff at this moment, her head was always lowered and she didn't dare to lift it up. It is unimaginable to think that Xia Peng disappeared into the room after hearing Xia Peng's scream!
"I was careless. I should have taken care of the two of them all the time," Ren Jing seemed annoyed at this moment: "It's rare to find the two of you, and you can make up a complete prophecy... It seems that we have to wait for the fourth person to appear , and then think about it. As for the fourth person... "
She winked back, and Run An knew very well at this moment that Ou Xueyan might be the fourth person.
"Is she going to be okay for now?"
"Hmm... the shortest distance for your sister's premonition of death time is..."
"Generally speaking, it will be sensed at least twenty-four hours ago. So far, there is no precedent for the premonition time to be accurate to the hour. It has been like this for seven years. My words are similar, and it is impossible to be shorter than twenty-four hours. It senses someone who is about to die. Considering this way, Ou Xueyan is 'safe' for the time being."
"I, I'm still safe?" Ou Xueyan felt relaxed when she heard that, but she still asked with a little palpitation: "Is your premonition really all right? For example, Xia Peng..."
"Actually, my sister has sensed that he will die today. Isn't it already past zero? In other words, within the date of death sensed by my sister, there is a threat of death every minute. Miss Ou, do you want to Be mentally prepared, maybe you will be the fourth person. If you want to survive... you should follow Miss Ren's instructions as much as possible. She knows more about this than I do. As for the problem of premonition, Miss Ren, I can't guarantee it, but at least I The premonition with my sister has always been fulfilled for seven years... You don't need to doubt it."
In fact, Ou Xueyan didn't dare to doubt it anymore. She has completely believed that there are indeed ghosts in this world, and now...the only ones she can rely on are these two people. She already regarded Run An and Ren Jing as Maoshan Taoist priests, thinking that they had the supernatural power to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits. How do you know that these two people are actually ordinary people, but their physiques are slightly different from ordinary people.
Ren Jing drove back to her home. She planned to temporarily arrange for Ou Xueyan to live in her house, and try to find out as many clues as possible before the fourth person had a premonition. Ou Xueyan was already extremely tired at this moment, when she arrived at Ren Jing's house, she thought this was a safe place, so she fell asleep peacefully.
"The big room is the advantage, and it doesn't matter if you live with one more person."
After helping Ou Xueyan close the door of the room, she returned to the living room, looked at Run An who was contemplating deeply, leaned her body against the wall, and asked, "What are you thinking? Let me guess what you said to me and my father , and the root of your fate, are you full of doubts?"
Run An is now sitting on the leather sofa in the living room. The living room of Ren Jing's house is really luxuriously decorated. No matter what kind of furniture is imported, there are many bonsai, sculptures, oil paintings, and an old-fashioned phonograph in the room. A coffee mug with a handle, all made of gold.
"You really look like a young lady from a rich family...but don't you even have a servant at home?"
Ren Jing sat across from him, pointing her fingers meaninglessly on the coffee table, and said with melancholy eyes: "I'm the only one, and I don't even have much contact with my neighbors, because everyone thinks I'm a weirdo. People don’t care about me anymore, and I take care of everything myself.”
"Economically? Did the family members give you some property to live on?"
"I don't bother with those. My occupation is an illustrator, and I just draw some illustrations for some novels or encyclopedias. It's a very modest job, right? But I'm not interested in financial management and investment in my life, so I feel that I don't have an industry. Relax. I’m just a person who looks beautiful, but in fact I’ve experienced the hardships of life. My only property is this house, and my grandfather helped buy the furniture and the like. I’m not interested in a luxurious life , and even thought it was a waste of time. Life is about experience, not pleasure.”
Run An didn't expect her to be very good at talking, and he didn't know how to interface for a while.
"Let's get down to business... You said before that you don't want your sister to be involved?"
"That's right." Run An said resolutely: "This is the biggest premise for me to cooperate with you. She doesn't know anything, she is a person who has no intention at all, and she is not usually timid. Letting her touch those things is tantamount to asking for help. killed her."
"That's really a pity... She has a natural supernatural physique. If she is well cultivated, she will not be inferior to you in ability..."
"About the supernatural constitution... what does it mean to us? Besides the premonition, what other characteristics does it have?"
After thinking about it for a while, Ren Jing began to talk: "As far as I know, there are many kinds of supernatural physiques. Most of the natural physiques will show that they are different from ordinary people at a very young age, like your brothers and sisters. Ability to awaken relatively late. And when it comes into contact with things related to the supernatural, this ability gradually awakens. However, even so, it only has the ability of premonition. People with more powerful supernatural abilities should be able to see with the naked eye Invisible ghosts."
"Invisible to the naked eye?"
"Well, but there is too little information about ghosts... In fact, ghosts are just a general term for those things, or this way of saying it is easier for people to understand their existence quickly. Because the legend of ghosts has a long history, the general saying It is the soul of the dead. But legends are not the same as reality. Not all ghosts are originally human beings. In fact, most of those things have nothing to do with human beings and are completely derived from unknown worlds. There are many of them. Things like ghosts cannot be called ghosts at all. Yes, there are many invisible and definite existences similar to curses, which make people hard to guard against. If the supernatural ability is further improved, you should be able to feel the curse. But this is only in the 'Perception'. If you want to fight, you usually need acquired counseling to do it. Now you are far from doing this."
curse? unknown
There is no way to find out the so-called laws, nor understand their forms, everything is pure unknown, so how to defeat them in the future and find a way to survive? Run An was completely lost.
Next, he decided to discuss this matter with Ren Jing.
"Xie Xiaohao's corpse... Well, it is obvious that this thing can change a person's body into such a posture. This is the ability of that thing, right? Then, why Zhang Jun and Xia Peng didn't show their bodies is a mystery."
Ren Jing nodded, and further raised her point of view: "My thoughts are the same as yours. I think their corpses do exist and have not disappeared. But they were not found for a while. In conclusion, it seems to be an aimless search for The subjects, the first two victims, have absolutely nothing in common, and of course we don’t deny that there may be some connection that we haven’t discovered. If you think about it, the fourth person may also be another irrelevant person.”
The most urgent thing is, if the fourth person is Ou Xueyan, how to protect her
"First of all, I can assure you that my father's notes have repeatedly emphasized that the only way to unravel the curse is to prevent the premonition from becoming a reality. The elements of the three of us' premonitions are character, time and key words. And the things that can be changed , only the time that your sister can predict, and the life and death of the characters. So... As far as the first point is concerned, from today on, you must wear a watch every moment, including when you sleep, and you must Always check the watch to determine the time, and the error cannot be checked by more than one minute. If you can confirm that the watch you are wearing is accurate, then no matter what the occasion, the time on your watch shall prevail.”
At this moment, Run An raised a question that had been entrenched in his mind for a long time.
"If we kill that person before the premonition time, does it mean that the premonition didn't come true?"
The living room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
The two looked at each other, each seeming to have their own thoughts.
"I don't know. Maybe it can be counted. After all, my father didn't write it down in his notes. However, it's just a possibility. Would you try it? To save your life, kill others?"
Ren Jing's question made Run An unable to answer for a while. It is indeed impossible for him to do it. After all, he is not the kind of cold and selfish person. After all, he can't do things like killing people. What's more, this is not the only method, and it is not even sure whether it belongs to the method of breaking the curse, so at least for now, he will definitely not do it.
However, if it is for Runli, if one day this becomes the only way, he can't guarantee that he will do anything.
"You don't need to think too deeply about this question. In fact, even if you want to kill, you may not be able to kill. How can such a terrible fate be so easily changed. Well, I don't want to discuss such dark topics with you, and your sister certainly doesn't want to. Will agree to do that. The next question is... the life and death of the character. As long as that person survives, we can change the curse fate on us, at least let him live beyond the premonition time. Although they have the ability to protect themselves Best, but people without supernatural powers, even the most powerful fighters in the world, cannot escape death. Therefore, the ideal consideration is to balance offense and defense. With your current ability, I can only consider 'defense'."
"Let Ou Xueyan escape like our brothers and sisters?" Thinking of this, Runan felt very uncomfortable. Is this the only way? Only passive escape? Isn't there a way to deal with ghosts in some novels? Such as splashing black dog blood, drawing spells, hanging evil spirits on the body and so on.
"In addition... I also want to remind you." Seemingly seeing Run An's thoughts, Ren Jing added: "The methods of exorcising ghosts in novels and movies are all made up to deceive people, because literary works need a righteous party To win, we can only arrange for human beings to have the power to fight against ghosts. But the reality is not like this, their existence cannot be understood by our common sense, and it is even more impossible to find a way to restrain them. Only a very small number of people with supernatural physiques can feel it. It's there. So don't expect anything far away."
So the focus of the next discussion is how to "keep".
"After confirming the time, after all, we have to get enough energy first, and then on the day of the scheduled death, we will accompany the fourth person 24 hours a day. If that person is not Ou Xueyan, we can also arrest the other person and imprison him. Alas, I was really scared before. It was not thoughtful, and although it was the first time so I was inexperienced, Xia Peng was killed."
"What's next? If 'that thing' comes out, how do we deal with it?"
"This is a map of the urban area." She pulled out a piece of paper as if conjuring, and then pointed to a few points on it and said, "Did you see it? These are some of the better escape routes I have drawn out. If you want to imprison the other party, you can consider this place. When my grandfather and I asked for a house, we chose an area with relatively convenient transportation. There are many overpasses and subways nearby, and there are many intersections, so it is not easy to come across The traffic jam. Moreover, because it is a prime location, there are many people, so I can ask many people for help... Of course, this is just to delay the time. If the fourth person is Ou Xueyan, I have chosen the location."
Then she pointed to a black spot in the city center, took out a red pen and drew a circle, and analyzed: "This is the memorial square in the city center. Recently, because the holidays are approaching, there are many more policemen to maintain order, and the people are relatively crowded." There are many. And we can choose to be near the statue of the mayor, which is not far from the parking lot. And this square is open to citizens 24 hours a day, so it doesn’t matter if you stay there all night. There are three roads to go out of the square Choose, and every road leads in the opposite direction to the area where Xie Xiaohao's apartment is located."
"The plan is really thorough..." Run An couldn't help admiring Ren Jing, who had completely mastered the terrain and considered every factor. Judging from the map, it is almost impossible to encounter remote areas with few people, and staying near the statue of the mayor, you can find many people asking for help. Although modern society is full of indifference, few people help strangers, but if there are policemen, it is impossible to remain indifferent for the sake of maintaining order and protecting the square. In short, the more people involved, the more chaotic the situation, the greater the chance of successful escape.
Of course, even this is not foolproof. After all, the other party is an unknown non-human being, and no one knows what he will do. Therefore, it is up to man to plan, but it is up to God to make things happen. Whether the fourth person can escape this catastrophe, in fact, the element of God's will is higher. Moreover, there is still a big risk, that is, if they fail, that person's body will appear beside them in the form of Xie Xiaohao, which may attract the attention of the police, and they may even be regarded as murderers. There are advantages to implementing strategies in crowded places, but there are also disadvantages.
Now, the problem is the hunch. After Run An sensed the fourth person, he had to find out that person's address as soon as possible before the time limit, and then find him. It would be best if this person is Ou Xueyan, but if not, I'm afraid it will take some time, if it is a person who has no clues to follow, the plan may be delayed again.
However, at this moment, Run An felt that images began to appear in his mind again. The figure and name of the fourth person gradually became clear...
